Air Meditator Inflatable Meditation Cushion and Travel Pillow – Meditate on Air in Total Comfort with Adjustable Three-Chamber Design for Enhanced Posture and Portability, Black

I’ve had a few meditation cushions and this is by far my favorite. It’s the perfect firmness, great quality, so easy and quick to inflate and break down for travel. I bring it with me on business trips and vacation. My daughter keeps “borrowing” mine so I ordered her one. Love my purple one. Will order more for gifts for sure. Quick delivery!

Bought this portable cushion to use for outdoor meditation and seat is so comfortable ended up using it indoors too. Was concerned with leaking due to past reviews but this must be the new design because have had no issues. Also very easy to inflate and deflate. Great quality, design, and value for the money. Super happy with my purchase!

Overall the Air Meditator is comfortable to sit on and far better than most of the other portable lightweight options I considered. The main cushion has plenty of air to avoid bottoming out; the forward tilt is great for sitting upright; and the side cushions provide some nice support for the legs.I haven't used it long enough to judge its long-term durability but I (a 235-lb man) was able to sit for an hour without any issues.My biggest complaint is that the air valves are fiddly and there are three of them, making it rather difficult to completely deflate. I think Thermarest-style valves would be an improvement.Getting the product back in its travel pouch was an exercise in absurdity, making the pouch a waste of plastic. I suspect a lot of people will just throw it away. I can only hope it will get easier with practice.

I used this for a meditation retreat. it was easy to blow up and held the air. I found it quite loud when i had to shift my position and overall not very comfortable. I left it at the retreat center.

I have been using this inflatable zafu for years. I just bought a replacement after I gave mine away to a friend. I have tried many other travel solutions for meditation and none compares (at least if cross-legged is your meditation posture of choice) The three different compartments allow for customization. For instance, as I age, my right knee is a bit stiff. I can inflate that side a bit more than the rest to provide added support to that bad knee. The valves allow for very easy and complete deflation so it takes up very little space when traveling. I have taken it backpacking, snowshoeing, dog sledding, and about everywhere else and it has always held up. Years ago I bought one with a faulty valve and customer service was EXCELLENT. A replacement was provided promptly and courteously. I often use this cushion even at home where I have more traditional buckwheat zafus available. Sometimes I just prefer the way this one feels. I have been meditating for over 40 years and have not found a portable meditation solution that can match this.

I've used this cushion on several long meditation retreats (5-10 days), using it for maybe 4-5 hours per day before rotating it out with other cushions. I have found the cushion to be very stable and comfortable. In fact, I was surprised to feel how stable it is at all sorts of levels of inflation. I never once felt like it was any less stable than a buckwheat cushion. I also never felt like I was rocking back and forth or side to side like it was some sort of inflatable pool toy. It doesn't make plastic-y noises or anything.Inflating and deflating are extremely simple and intuitive. There's three one-way valves that keeps air in unless you press the valve in for a release. It takes no time at all.I do personally find that a fully inflated cushion is a bit much for me. Maybe it feels too full and hard, maybe too high. I had a lot of luck deflating each of the three compartments about 20%. Sometimes I like the middle compartment to be a bit less inflated than the sides. If you play around with it, you will find a height and hardness that works well with you.This might be advertised as a traveling cushion but it definitely works as an every day cushion too. I used it at home for several months and it was great. It's very high quality and comfort.

We've gone through 3 of these over the years, mainly because the first generation was prone to irritating leaks (that could be repaired easily enough with Aquaseal). First saw them being used by a Shambhala Meditation Instructor who was very pleased. THIS NEW DESIGN IS MUCH BETTER for those of you who might have given up on them. Vastly improved valves, smarter chamber design, better seams.Best part of these is the customer service, though. When this last one just leaked I sadly called the company and Scott immediately said "just send me the order number and I'll send you a new one - go ahead and patch the old one if you want." WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE?Seriously, if you meditate for hours a day during a retreat, or even for less than an hour at home, consider getting one of these. Your butt and lower back will thank you - nothing else even comes close except perhaps a cloud bench with a heavy cushion and ankle support, which at Samadhi cushion will run you 5X what these cost - and who wants to carry all that gear to retreat centers? these suckers just deflate, go in the bag, and you're done.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Just don't use them sitting on cactus or sharp rocks .... ;-)

I've had several of the inflatable mobile meditators over the years. The one constant: they all leak. I'm 170 lbs, will sit for two hours and often have to blow them up midway into the meditation. You could be generous and call it pranayama. Also, only one lasted longer than six months. Only one. Not a great track record. But I keep buying them because it really is the only inflatable meditation seat and it travels well. It must be nigh on impossible to make these seams perfect. As it is they are essentially disposable.
